By Design Ladies Event
God desires every woman to enjoy the blessing of giving and receiving encouragement! On March 27, ladies young and old, age 13 and up, are invited to join us for a morning of worship, pastoral teaching, and panel discussion. The event will begin at 8:30am with a light breakfast and wrap up by noon. Sign up on Sunday in the foyer or online, and invite a friend!
Applications for this summer’s mission trip to Bolivia are due this Sunday. The first team meeting will also be held this Sunday at noon in the Seminar Room. If you haven’t turned in your application yet and you hope to participate, please bring your application and the registration fee to this week’s team meeting.
As many of you might be wondering, the classes tonight are still on!
Foundations of Parenting, Starting Point and Financial Peace University will start at 7:30pm, as scheduled.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Church family and friends,
God has a way of changing our plans at times, doesn’t he? After being unable to meet last weekend, I was especially looking forward to meeting together tomorrow. Sunday is my favorite day of the week!
Due to the continued inclement weather, however, all Saturday and Sunday events have been cancelled. I’m grateful that ultimately the weather testifies to our Father’s sovereign control over all things (Ps. 147:16), reminding us of the divine power and authority at work in every detail of our lives. No matter the situation, He’s on the throne!
Here are a couple suggestions for redeeming the time this weekend:
I pray God refreshes each of you this weekend as we rest in His sovereignty. As my good friend Gene would say, “Snow is God’s way of inserting a little margin into our lives.” And for that I give thanks!
Grace to you,
Matthew

This note is from Pat Ennis, Executive Director of Sovereign Grace Ministries:
Friends, In response to the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti on Tuesday, Sovereign Grace Ministries has opened a Disaster Relief fund to help deliver food, medicine, and other needed aid there. We will distribute the funds we raise primarily through existing ministry contacts we have on the island—both in Haiti and the Dominican Republic—who are already involved in relief efforts.If you want to join us in our support of these efforts, you can donate to the Disaster Relief fund
on our website or by calling 800.736.2202. On behalf of our friends in Haiti, thank you for considering this opportunity to give.Regardless of your ability to make a donation, please join us in praying that those affected by the earthquake would receive aid quickly, and that despite these hardships the gospel would continue to go forward in that nation.
With appreciation,
Patrick Ennis
Executive Director
Sovereign Grace Ministries
Few responsibilities are more rewarding and yet more challenging than parenting. Thankfully, God hasn’t left us in the dark when it comes to successfully caring for children young and old. Starting January 27, we’re beginning a 10 week biblical foundations for parenting class on Wednesday evenings at 7:30pm. Attend as many of the two-week sessions as you like.
The Goldsworthy Trilogy is an outstanding collection of three books on Biblical Theology by Graeme Goldsworthy. Each book looks at a specific genre of Biblical literature in order to see its place within the whole of Scripture by seeing Jesus throughout each one.The Gospel & Kingdom examines the Old Testament history of Israel, The Gospel & Wisdom examines Job, Solomon’s writings, and some other wisdom writings sprinkled throughout Scripture, and The Gospel & Revelation looks at Scripture’s final letter.I heartily commend the Goldsworthy Trilogy for a deeper study of seeing Jesus throughout the various parts of Scripture. (I also recommend God’s Big Picture for a basic introduction on this topic and The Big Picture Story Bible for an excellent treatment of this at the most basic level.)
